July 8th, 1935. To the Honorable Maym• and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen; At a meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, held Friday, July 5th, it was decided to recommend to your honorable body the rezoning of the following described lots from Two Family Residence District to Multiple Resi• dente District: All of Lots 784 to 808, both inclusive, in A. McDaniel's Sub.; all of Lots 1 to 7, both inclu• sive, of the Sub. of 809 of A. Mc• Daniel's Sub; all of Lots 828, 829, and 830 of A. McDaniel's Sub.; all of Lots 1 to 10, both inclusive, of M. A. McDaniel's Sub.; all of Lots 1, 2 and 3 of Sub. of Lot 823 and part of Lot 824 of A. McDaniel's Sub,; all of Lots 1 to 6, both inclu- sive, of Kingman's Sub. Requests have been received from property owners in this neighborhood for this change in the zoning ordinance, and a thorough study, by the Commis- sion, leads to the conclusion that it is a logical extension of the Mul- tiple Residence District in this sec- tion of the City. Your early co• operation will be appreciated. Yours very truly, R. V. McKAY, Secretary, Planning & Zoning Commission. Councilman Chalmers moved that the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission be made a matter of record and the City Solic- itor instructed to draw up the pro- per resolution covering the same. Seconded by Councilman Schiltz, Carried by the following vote; Yeas -Mayor Kane, Councilmen Chalmers, Jaeger, Roberts, Schiltz. Nays-None. July 8th, 1935. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa, Gentlemen: The P l a n n i n g and Z o ni n g Commission recommends that the petition of Mr. Geo. Retten- maier for rezoning of his property at Lincoln and Farley Streets be not allowed for the following reasons: First, the Commission is opposed as a matter of sound administrative policy to special zoning for one indi• victual to the detriment of the many surrounding property owners. It is a fact that through friendship and the confidence of the neighbors, Mr. Ret• tenmaier has procured many signa- tures to his petition. Yet, if the pro• posed change is granted, these same peeple would have no recourse or re• lief from the many features allowed in local business areas, electric signs, etc., which destroy residential Values. Consideration toward his neighbors by the present o~pner might not hold with future owners of the plat in question, hence con- trol should be held by the City. Second, Lincoln Avenue in this neighborhood is at present a very attractive residential district and all efforts in the future should be to• ward improving it as a residential street rather than otherwise. Tkird, To permit a tavern iu this attractive residential section is con• teary to the spirit of the new Iowa Liquor Control Law which prohibits taverns in residential districts. Respectfully yours, DUBUQUE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, By R. V. McKay, Secretary. Mr. George Rettenmaier and Son addressed the Council requesting that the City Council overrule the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commissicn. Councilman Roberts moved that the communication of the Planning sand Zoning Commission be referred to the City Council far to hold a con- ference with the Planning and Zon- ing Commission, at which time this matter will be again taken up for consideration.- Seconded by Council- man Schiltz.

Reason. Due to the yearly reduced taxes levied by the City of Dubuque, since 1930, and because of the 33% reduction in the assessed valuations, since 1930, the maximum of 7.00 mills far the Consolidated Tax Levy will not be sufficient to meet de• wands for regular city operation and will not permit the renewal of cer- tain needed equipment, including street trucks, ambulance, etc., which must be replaced due to the near failure of said equipment because of many years of service.
